Curious if anyone cares to comment on this true bibtex hack lol.=0A= Previously, I mentioned some small variants to bibtex to make the bibliogra= phy=0A= into a bill of materials or something similar with possible commercial appl= ications.=0A= The idea was for the right documents, readers could click through to vendor= s=0A= like any other add. In general however the web is loaded with catagories=0A= of webpages that may be of use as collections from various sources.=0A= In real estate, there are many such services. I had a bunch of open tabs fr= om=0A= a couple of sites and it turned out TooBib was able to generate "valid" bib= tex=0A= from these. Normally, I guess you may consider something like XML or today = JSON=0A= formats. Obviously they are easy to convert but I wasn't sure if other tool= s=0A= existed that would easily produce structured almost comparable docs from va= riously=0A= sourced webpages. It looks like Zoterro only retains things it thinks are r= elevant=0A= while TooBib put whatever it can in the bibtex making it flexible for stuff= like=0A= this ( and its easy to delete if you insist on sterile bibtex ).=0A= I didn't try TooBib in headless mode here and in fact hit one anti-robot pa= ge=0A= but it runs fine with a quick screen pop of another browser instance while = downloading. =0A= =0A= =0A= fwiw.=0A= =0A= =0A= =0A= =A0Mike Marchywka=A0=0A= 157 Zachary=A0=0A= Talking Rock GA 30175=0A= was 44 Crosscreek Trail Jasper GA 30143=0A= was 306 Charles Cox Drive=A0 Canton, GA 30115=0A= 470-758-0799=0A= 404-788-1216=A0=0A= =0A= =0A=
